Packaging buyers face three recurring challenges every year: upgrading equipment, switching packaging materials, and matching printing and labeling solutions. With so many moving parts, suppliers are often scattered, making sourcing time-consuming. Yet, finding a platform that brings together packaging machinery, materials, printing, and labeling solutions in one place is not easy.
From 4 to 6 March 2027, Sino-Pack and PACKINNO will take place in Area B of the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou, alongside Printing South China and Sino-Label in Area A. Together, the four concurrent exhibitions will cover packaging machinery, materials, printing and labeling at the same venue. Four Co-located Shows: 150,000 sqm | 2,200+ Expected Exhibitors | 138,000+ Professional Visitors. ——Why It’s the Go-To Annual Sourcing Event for Packaging Buyers. 1.

International Opportunities: Best-Selling Products and Global Supply Chains Under One Roof When expanding into international markets, buyers need more than packaging products. They also need solutions that meet international compliance requirements and connect with global supply chains.

As sustainability and convenience become key consumer trends, the exhibition features mono-material recyclable stand-up pouches, paper-plastic composite food packaging, biodegradable e-commerce cushioning materials, RFID-enabled smart labels, and functional packaging materials suitable for organic and other certifications. This enables both domestic and international buyers to gain a comprehensive view of global packaging trends and sourcing directions in a single visit.

Overseas experts with expertise in five high-potential emerging markets—Kazakhstan, Brazil, Egypt, Poland and Malaysia—will share market insights and practical experience to help companies plan their international expansion. For brands in the food, daily chemical products and health products sectors targeting international markets, it is an efficient platform to address both domestic sourcing and overseas compliance requirements in one trip.   4.
